23s already have the updated gasket. I think it was mid year 22 they made the change, but not positive of date.

Watch out for key fob issues. Some LEDs actually cause interference with fobs.

The date they changed would be in the TSB. Only trucks built before that date have old gasket.
this is what I used...works perfectly. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000I1QHA8/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&th=1

They will replace the old one free, under the warranty extension.

It has been posted before. Read the TSB. TSB has been shown in rear window leak threads.

Thanks for the heads up! I did the swap maybe 2 months ago lol.
I did my research and also reached out to Lasfit to confirm. Just a small upgrade if anyone is removing their third brake light already. Lasfit will replace OEM halogen bulbs and will NOT give you error code or key fob issue.

instead of replacing gasket, has anyone tried a good aftermarket third brake light? Preferably blacked out

I can confirm this as well. I’ve had Lasfit’s for over 4 months now and have zero issues. All three lamps in the upper brake housing
